The diagram shows the measured spot size for 90% of the detected energy. Sensors can measure longer distances than the diagram shows, and the accuracy is not affected by the measurement distance in clean air. This is because the PyroNFC detects only the wavelengths of infrared radiation that are not absorbed by the atmosphere.
Effortless, Contactless Temperature MeasurementHarness the ease of non-contact infrared technology with the PyroNFC sensor. Its rapid response time (under 0.5 seconds) and high accuracy make surface temperature sensing both reliable and immediate. Simply position the sensor near the target, and NFC wirelessly delivers real-time readings without physical touch or complex setup.
Versatile Integration Across ApplicationsDesigned for flexibility, the PyroNFC suits diverse uses from IoT and medical devices to industrial automation. Multiple mounting options and customizable cable lengths ensure seamless incorporation into existing or new systems. Its robust ABS housing and IP54 rating provide protection in demanding environments.
Reliable, Maintenance-Free PerformanceThanks to factory calibration and compliance with EMC and safety standards, the PyroNFC offers over 10 years of stable, maintenance-free operation. Its wide temperature range and low power needs make it a dependable choice for long-term deployments in dynamic settings.
FAQ's of Infrared Temperature Sensor PyroNFC:
Q: How does the PyroNFC Infrared Temperature Sensor measure temperature without contact?
A: The PyroNFC sensor uses a thermopile infrared sensing element to detect thermal radiation emitted by surfaces. It remotely measures temperature by converting IR radiation into a digital signal which is communicated wirelessly via NFC, requiring no physical contact.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this sensor in IoT and automation applications?
A: Its compact size, maintenance-free design, energy efficiency (<2 mW), and wireless NFC interface make integration seamless and cost-effective. With high accuracy (0.5 C) and fast response, it streamlines temperature monitoring for secure, real-time data collection in connected systems.
Q: Where can this sensor be mounted for optimal performance?
A: The sensor is engineered for flexible installation, supporting through-hole, SMD, or cable-based mounting. This makes it adaptable for use in small devices, control panels, or custom enclosures in industrial, commercial, or medical settings.
Q: When is recalibration necessary for the PyroNFC sensor?
A: Recalibration is not required because the PyroNFC is factory calibrated to deliver long-term accuracy. This ensures precise performance for over ten years, minimizing maintenance demands in all supported applications.
Q: What is the process for data retrieval from the sensor?
A: Data is retrieved by bringing an NFC-enabled device close to the sensor. The sensor transmits temperature readings digitally via NFC (ISO/IEC 14443 Type A) at a transfer rate of 106 kbps, allowing instant, contactless access to measurement data.
Q: How does the sensor maintain reliability under varying environmental conditions?
A: Its ABS housing, IP54 rating, and wide operating (-40C to +85C) and storage (-55C to +125C) temperature ranges allow the sensor to endure dust, moisture, and temperature extremes, sustaining accurate measurements even in challenging environments.
Q: What makes the PyroNFC Infrared Temperature Sensor maintenance-free?
A: Factory calibration, robust construction, and no moving parts or manual adjustments ensure the sensor operates reliably for years without the need for maintenance or recalibration, reducing total cost of ownership.
